Description
Never heard of the Wombles, sounds like they were bricoleurs or MacGyvers. Mentions my Shipping Container presentation. Also mentions academic term for the subject "design for appropriation".

In the 1970s the Wombles were Britain’s great engineers. They designed, built and fixed stuff by focusing on what was available and what worked, rather than using the proper stuff. There are lessons here for both software engineers and interaction designers.
